KUALA LUMPUR: The net profit of Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Keluarga Bhd surged 5.9 percent to RM88.83 million in the second quarter ending June 30, 2026, compared to RM83.82 million in the corresponding period last year. The company's revenue climbed 14.5 percent to RM1.61 billion, up from RM1.01 billion, primarily propelled by a rise in takaful revenue to RM1.0 billion from RM867.1 million.
This growth was mainly attributed to increased takaful coverage charges and contractual service margin releases. No dividend was announced for the quarter. For the half-year period ending June 30, 2026, the company's net profit expanded 6.4 percent to RM189.8 million, up from RM178.3 million, while revenue grew 6.9 percent to RM2.28 billion, up from RM2.14 billion.
The takaful and insurance sector is expected to continue its positive growth trajectory, driven by robust demand for protective products. Inflation concerns and the population grappling with cost-of-living challenges have made pricing and product value critical considerations for consumers. The Malaysian government is set to introduce a basic medical protection plan, MediAsas, in early 2027, aiming to provide affordable medical coverage.
